from a third story window. Stones
and brickbats we're instantly in the
hands of the crowd in threatening
attitude, and cries of hang them"
were heard, when the chief of police
persuaded them to desist, and that the
obnoxious flag should be removed.
Entering the front store, the proprie-
tors were found to be in total ignorance
| of the fact. The chief proceeded to
the third story and removed the flag.
but the three journeymen tailors who
| were responsible for it had disappeared.
The late election passed off quietly,
resulting in Republican majority for
the state of $4,000. The Mayor of the
city issued proclamation ordering
the saloons to be closed during the
day. The City Council had a small
majority of the hummer element, and
passed a resolution, that the Mayor
| had no legal right to issue such procla-
nation, thus attempting to array the
saloon interest against him but, be it
said to their credi., with but compare
lively few exceptions, the proclamation
aCas obsyed in spite of the Council, and
fewer arrests were made for drunken
ness than on any day of the week.
| About dozen arrests were made for
| violation of the order, which were
| summarily dealt with; but the absence
| of American names in the list was a
source of remark.
| At the time of the Presidential visit
Mayor BrOatch was absent, and the
1 of&
elected by the small hummer majority,
suspended an ordinance requiring sa-
looms to close at - o'clock. and allowed
them to be kept open all night, as a
sort of Democratic jubilee. The con-
sequence was about double the usual
number of arrests, as might have been
expected.
| A new time table of the Union Pa
cifc railroad has gone into effect, re-
ducing the running time bel ween
fOmaha and San Francisco to II hours
Ia reduction of IA hours. The clocks
of this company at the depot have
their dials marked up to "a hours.
The wagon track of the q. P. r. r.
bridge has been completed. 1t was in
tended that President Cleveland should
inaugurate it by being the first to pass
over it. but the short time allotted to
Omaha prevented the program from
being carried into effect, amt, for some
unexplained reason, it has not vet
been thrown open to the public. Mean
time another bridge, exclusively for
carriages, has been commenced. less
than half a mile above, which is to be
ready for use next June.
Steps have been taken by the Board
of Trade and citizens to secure the
Republican presidential convention 10
be held here next year. 1t is claimed
and with truth, that the city can
furnish ample accommodations for the
convention in the Exposition building
and for the crowd at the numerous
hotels and boarding houses. 1t will
be great advertising boom for Omaha
ii their efforts are crowned with sue
cess.
The autumn has been all that could
be desired in the way of favorable
weather. and building operations are
being crowded to completion, or in
closure, before winter overtakes them
The leaves have long since fallen, but
no such autumnal tints have been OBJ
served here as are seen in Wisconsin
For beautiful and gorgeous colors
rivaling the tints of the rainbow, as
seen in the autumnal leaves, few
countries on the globe can excel Wis
cOnsin and northern Illinois.
